About your quirks tag, I was thinking about you playing D&D. Also maybe something about making sure your roses look nice. Not sure after that. I am trying to wrack my brain, but I had a hard time thinking of my own quirks. Look at the other people I tagged and see if you can copy them :)

Hey Melissa,Just wanted to let you know that while Bryson was in the hospital for his Fontan he was lucky enough to be a recipient of one of your books in memory of Elaine!!! He loves having it read to him. ThanksJennylin

Our Fun Family

Darin and Melissa have been married since 2000. We have a daughter, Elaine who was born in 2001 with several Congenital Heart Defects. She had 3 open heart surgeries and passed on while waiting for a heart transplant in 2004. She loved Buzz Lightyear and animals. She would be 12. Violet loves art, drawing, singing and creating things. Favorite pass time is reading. Ashton is a typical boy. He loves dragons, swords and building. Currently he thinks he is going to be a professional base ball player. He also love Indiana Jones and the Wii! Myra likes dancing and jumping, playing dress up and playing with her baby dolls. Vaughn is a sweet, easy going little man, obsessed with trains, cars and baseball. He is super coordinated. And he only loves things..."What about mom? I love her?" Mom and Dad are having fun with their family.
